Honestly, it isn't his policies that really scare people off. Anyone with any understanding of our government's functions knows that just about anything he wants to do would be extremely difficult to muster through Congress. Some of his ideas are a little too authoritarian for people to really buy into. You do hit on something that is turning people off, though, his anti-PC attitude.
He can go as far as he wants and there are some people that will stick with him and support him 100%. Those people aren't necessarily the people the GOP likes to admit are a part of their base. Trump has given them more prominence, though, and that has caused a lot of the party to recognize that in order to save the party, they need to save the country from Trump. This is just what I have heard from several die hard Republicans. Trump is not good for the country or their party, some even labeling him as a demagogue.
